I could have told them that for about a tenth of the money they’ve spent on the so called “research.”

What, you’ve never heard of amalgamation?
To: Texas Eagle
Why can't they do these experiments on animals other than humans?
Oh, right, harming animals is evil.

They should be taken out into the street and shot like dogs. You can’t combine humans and animals unless you are a murderer.

Wouldn’t have been necessary to forbid it in Leviticus, under penalty of death, if it were impossible.

These scientists need to try a little harder. The feasibility of interspecies breeding has already been demonstrated in nature. It is obvious, for instance, that Mike Huckabee is the product of a union between Droopy the dog and a human female.

Might want to throw an evolution keyword in there, and see if the usual DC suspects plague the thread to defend this (human animal hybrids) practice. After all, it's science.
